UFC on CBS?

According to respected journalist Michael Pope of the New York Post, CBS might knockout EliteXC: Primetime.


CBS is struggling for ratings and fan enthusiasm for the Saturday night primetime show - the first of its kind on broadcast TV.


CBS was shocked by how badly the last fight, called "Unfinished Business," did in the ratings.


Rumors have resurfaced that CBS is once again in talks with UFC - the first and better-known of the competing fight leagues - to take over the timeslot.


At least one more "EliteXC" match will air - an Oct. 4 match showcasing Kimbo Slice against Ken Shamrock.
